This quick and easy blackberry cobbler is perfect for a summer treat. With only a few ingredients, the blackberries are the star element that makes this southern cobbler beautiful and oh, so tasty. Try it, you won’t be sorry!
Ah, the fruits of summer keep coming! Today we saw blackberries at the markets for the first time! Huge, plump and juicy… We had bowls of blackberries for a snack yesterday and today I cooked up the rest into this simple and easy blackberry cobbler.
The smell and taste of blackberries really brings the essence of summer to my senses.
How can you miss with a cobbler? A traditional southern favorite, this blackberry cobbler has only a few ingredients with basically a biscuit type dough. It is wetter, though more like cake batter; but biscuity, in that no eggs are required. Some cobblers are made with a thick batter, but this one is not. Cobblers, in general, are not fancy or pretentious desserts. They are wholesome and cozy… just perfect for a family dinner, picnic, or really, for any meal!
Cover the batter in blackberries, finish with a sprinkling of sugar on top and it whips up easy as… blackberry cobbler!
The batter cooks up light and fluffy, while the top and edges get browned and crispy… like this:
Not too sweet, it is perfect on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of cream… you choose…
Don’t those blackberries look gorgeous? There’s something about that color that just makes me happy! In fact, not only are they gorgeous, but purple foods are also good for health. That makes it so much more reasonable, don’t you think? Now you can say you are making this cobbler for health purposes. ? I hope you are ready for some blackberry cobbler healthy yumminess!
